2 Agenda Performance-Based Navigation Why is RNP Important? GBAS Landing System Example of an RNP AR Project Implementing RNP AR Operations

3 Performance-Based Navigation Performance-Based Navigation refers to the ability of aircraft flight management computing systems and other avionics to fly a digitally defined path in space. This aircraft capability is generally categorized as: Area Navigation (RNAV) Required Navigation Performance (RNP) Performance Based Navigation also refers to system performance requirements for navigation operations with which an aircraft must comply to operate on a particular air route, instrument approach procedure, or in a designated airspace. Requirements are defined in terms of accuracy, integrity, continuity, availability and functionality needed for a particular operation when supported by the appropriate navigation infrastructure.

4 General Categories of PBN RNAV is a navigation system enabling aircraft to fly waypoint to waypoint on any desired flight path within the service volume of referenced NAVAIDS or with selfcontained navigation systems, or a combination of the two. 104 RNAV RNP is RNAV with the added feature of on-board navigation performance monitoring and alerting. RNP also provides curved path capability. 104 RNP

5 RNP AR Approach Features Narrow lateral linear segments (RNP 0.3 or less) with no secondary buffers Curved segments (Radius-to-Fix legs with shorter leg lengths) anywhere along the approach Guided, narrower missed approaches (RNP 1.0 or less) with Radius-to-Fix legs STEP 1: Apply para 2-2 Segment Terminating Fix Tangent Points 2 RNP 2 RNP Performance-based Vertical Buffers (Vertical Error Budget ) b Segment Initial Fix a STEP 4 STEP 3 c STEP 5 R R a=r b=r+(2xrnp) c=r-(2xrnp) STEP 2: Locate Turn Center Tangent Points 2 RNP 2 RNP Radius to Fix (RF) Legs Vertical Error Budget & Guided Missed Approach

6 RNP is RNAV operations with performance monitoring & alerting. A critical component of RNP is the ability of the aircraft navigation system to monitor its achieved navigation performance, and to identify for the pilot whether the operational requirement is, or is not being met during an operation RNP value is measured in nm 1 x RNP alerting 2 x RNP Containment Ability to navigate and avoid obstacles

7 Agenda Performance-Based Navigation Why is RNP Important? GBAS Landing System Example of an RNP AR Project Implementing RNP AR Operations

8 Conventional Navigation vs. RNAV & RNP GNSS based RNP Conventional Navigation With conventional ground-based navigation aid routes, there is limited design flexibility

9 RNP: A Highly Flexible Means of Navigation RNP uses advanced flight management systems and GNSS to allow aircraft to fly tightly confined corridors of airspace. Barometric VNAV Path 2 x RNP Containment 2x RNP 1x RNP 1x RNP 2x RNP RNP has horizontal & vertical components

10 RNP Navigation (continued) With RNP, airspace use can be optimized.

11 Benefits of RNP Reduced track miles = reduced time = reduced fuel = lower costs!

18 GBAS Landing System GBAS provides airplane: Differential Correction to GPS Approach & Departure Trajectories Viewed as the landing system of the future FAA and Honeywell are working to complete the System Design Approval for CAT I GBAS Planning for CAT III capability is in work.

19 Why GBAS and GLS? Benefits appear to be site-specific. Airline Perspective Increased Capability Multiple glidepaths, displaced thresholds, staggered touchdowns &, offset localizer paths Low RNP capability in terminal area and for surface operations Precision departure guidance Cost Avoidance Fewer diversions Reduced fuel reserves from improved access to ETOPS and destination alternates Reduced landing fees. (Some airports are expected to pass savings to airlines.) Improved Safety ANSP Perspective Lower Infrastructure Costs Compared to ILS Single GBAS serves all runway ends at an airport Improved availability Improved Performance Not susceptible to beam interference Eliminates need for ILS critical areas Increased Capability Potential for multiple glidepaths Environmental Considerations Community noise abatement Reduced emissions

20 Situation Update: GLS Implementation Boeing Model GLS Status Airbus Model GLS Status 737NG CAT I is certified. A320 Certification for CAT I (with autoland) in Basic : to be certified CAT I (provisioned for CAT III). (FMC & Autopilot available for retrofit on ) A330/340 Certification for CAT I to follow A Currently not offered A350 To be certified as basic feature (CAT I?). 787 CAT I is basic CAT III Planned for A380 CAT I is certified as an optional feature (with autoland). Both Boeing and Airbus publicly support GLS as as the preferred landing system of of the future

23 Linzhi RNP Project General Administration of Civil Aviation of China (CAAC) China Eastern Airlines Air Traffic Management Bureau (ATMB) The Boeing Company Jeppesen U.S. FAA

24 Linzhi RNP Project Project began in April 2006 to build procedures for Nyngchi Airport at Linzhi. Nyngchi Airport was built to promote tourism and development of the at Linzhi. Linzhi is located in the Himalayan Plateau in Yalungzangbu River valley in Southeastern Tibet The airport is surrounded by mountainous terrain with many peaks higher than 19,000 feet Access to the airport is challenging Required Navigation Performance (RNP AR) instrument procedures are the only means to provide for safe and efficient access.

25 Nyngchi Airport at Linzhi Runway 23 Threshold Runway 05 Threshold Airport Description Formal Name: Nyngchi Airport ICAO Designator: ZUNZ Airport Reference Point N E Elevation: 9675 ft Runway Dimensions (05/23) Length: 9844 ft (3000m) Width: 148 ft (45m) Each end has a 60m (197 ft) asphalt overrun, suitable for stopping.

26 Radius-to-Fix and Track-to-Fix Legs Procedure Designs incorporate Radius-to-Fix (RF) Legs and (TF) Track-to-Fix legs. RF legs allow procedure design flexibility to fly around obstacles while meeting the RNP requirements (RNP 0.3, 0.1).

27 Jeppesen designed the Linzhi Procedures Preliminary Design Review of the RNP procedures CAAC, ATMB, CEA, Boeing, Jeppesen Series of Structured Design Reviews Internal to the Boeing and Jeppesen project team With the FAA With the CAAC, ATMB, CEA, Boeing and Jeppesen Demonstration in full flight simulator (Kunming) Formal demonstration flight Flown by trained China Eastern Airlines Pilots Witnessed by Principle Operations Inspector (CAAC)
